“The guys are great, and they seem to be on board with everything and they’re doing a really good job taking coaching. When we tell them something is important, or we got to work on this, they seem to understand that and make it a priority. I’ve been most proud of that.” - Tommy Lloyd on how his team has been playing this season.
